Every speaker that I’ve ever met, spoken with or consulted for wants to create great, memorable content that is so well received that it “goes viral”.

I was planning to talk more about this subject in future posts as we move further into the series of “new rules”, but today I received a link to a beautiful piece of video that you absolutely must see.

I was reading a very interesting article in Econtent Magazine this week regarding Twitter, and agreed with the author’s conclusion so much I wanted to share the article and my thoughts on it with you.

The primary point made is that Twitter is indeed growing up. Along with it, our recognition of the conversations we have there need to evolve as well. We need to think about what we’re tweeting about and stop with the incessent noise.

Twitter… to so many its become an addiction, an obsession even. To others, its nothing more and nothin less than a fad. Of course, many of those people are waiting for their dial-up phone service to connect.

I’m not sure if you can hear it – but I think there’s a low pitched hum going on in the social media marketplace. It may be more like a drip-drip-drip sound, but I’m not really sure. Do you hear it?

I’ve got a confession for you this AM. I’ve been a bit quiet; haven’t posted to the blog much – and there’s a reason.

I take pride in being a mentor to you in all of this “new media” stuff, like online video, social media, podcasting etc. I’ve spent years advancing the cause of product development and distribution for speakers.
